Reading
I'm sitting here reading, I look up and see Andy playing video games, but Johnny's reading John. He just exclaimed that he read "the part they read during our last communion".
Awesome! He says he's read all of John 3, now.
Suit from us, Bible from Andy. :)
John just jumped up and ran to his room to try on his new clothes! Sharp guy!
Quake?
I'm sitting here at my computer this morning... and my whole chair just kind of shifted, I sensed a rumble for a second, then it stopped... What was that!? Wow, something happened... Was that a tremor?
Progress?
And then they will require that every new bill contain a statement by the lawmaker who wrote it citing the constitutional authority to enact the proposed legislation. Call it the tea party-ization of Congress.
"It appears that the Republicans have been listening," said Jeff Luecke, a sales supervisor and tea party organizer in Dubuque, Iowa. "We're so far away from our founding principles that, absolutely, this is the very, very tip of the iceberg. We need to talk about and learn about the Constitution daily."
These are two standout changes on a long list of new rules Republicans will institute in the House when they assume the majority on Jan. 5. After handing out pocket-size Constitutions at rallies, after studying the document article by article and after demanding that Washington return to its founding principles, tea party activists have something new to applaud. A pillar of their grass-roots movement will become a staple in the bureaucracy that governs Congress.
"On November 2nd, voters called for an end to reckless spending and a renewed commitment to the Constitution," said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), a tea party favorite. "These new rules show that Republicans are serious about respecting the Constitution."

Maybe I could have saved some money at Christmas?
Andy's happy with Packing Peanuts. I think they were actually on his list, one year.

A "hollow ball" according to the boys.
These BuckyBalls, that Laura gave me, are cool. This is a sphere made of 20 triangles each with 9 balls.

Julie always has the coolest paper for Christmas.
This year is no exception, this particular paper is really cool. Holographic snow flakes.
Mr. G sent the boys on a scavenger hunt.
My COPP partner gave the boys a gift under the condition that I Make them hunt for it...

The Tiniest little drill, on the weakest setting...
I wanted 2 new batteries, for my drill, for Christmas. The problem is they cost as much as a new drill. So, Julie got me just that. It's a tiny little thing. But it drives this 3" deck screw into a treated 4x4 without even trying. And this was on the low power (high speed) setting. Awesome! Great choice babe!
